How does one harvest the biomass/creep that is left over under biter nests? standard mining drills don't work. You can't mine it by hand. Is there some special thing you need? The ingame Wiki explains this in the "Creep" section. You have to craft the "Creep collector" item. The...

This seems straigth forward: I cann see no way a train could turn around.

Hi, i have a feature request: When i plan a production block, i often want to change the module and beacon settings for all recipes in the block. Usually to the common 4 productivity in the assemblers and 2 speed in the beacons. That's a lot of clicking. Some copy and paste function to copy the modu...

I think it's an interesting idea. But i can't think of a use case that can't be solved simpler. If you wan't to load and unload full trains without worrying about items stuck in inserters, just set appropriate thresholds, to make sure a full train can be loaded/unloaded at the provider/requester. Ju...

You are using the "provide threshold" signal. You have to use the "request threshold" signal (blue chest with a ≤ sign) to override the global 10k threshold.

I think i have (hopefully) found a quite compact solution for using the "output delay fix" circuitry, even if there are tons of modded trains. It should also be forward compatible if more train trains are added: This is the standard circuit: 4890656.png The left decider "waits" u...

it's actually 1 bonus item per tick for productivity, so it's possible to have a crafting speed that only gives 1 craft per 60 ticks, or 1 second, but have 6000% productivity giving 1 item per tick. there was also a roll over bug where it was possible to get negative speed etc by using too many mod...

This isn't really related to Bob's mods, but it is probably only relevant if you are using Bob's modules, so i'm asking here. I read that very extreme bonuses could lead to some strange effects or have some limitations. I'm hoping someone can confirm how things are really working. Here is how i curr...

That' actually a quite nice solution! I was wondering how the slight overloading that's usually expected was handled. One more question about smart unloading with the 5 different trains and wagons in bobs mods: If i want to use the design you linked to fix the delay problem on the LTN output, i have...

Glad to hear i understood that right. I think i will skip that smart part in my stations, since i'm currently playing with bobs mods which has 5 different locomotives and cargo wagons, making that circuit to fix the delay a bit too large for my liking. One more question that popped up thinking about...

I'm slightly confused about the requester design shown here . I think i understand what it's supposed to do, but let's make sure i really get it: The LTN output gives the expected train content after unloading. This is subtracted from the current train content and sent to the filter inserters. So th...

Some science setups i designed for feeding from a main bus, where i mostly care about the width of production lines and not their height. They could be shrunk a bit more obviously, but i like the the look with long belts and few undergrounds. https://pastebin.com/y0fGrrV8 1822815.png https://pastebi...

Thanks for all those tips. I think i will use the Logistics Train Network mod.

Relatively new player here. I just finished the campaign by building some rather interesting factories. I think the technical term to describe them is "spaghetti". After that I've done some research, watching youtube etc., and decided that the first factory, that i launch a rocket with, ha...
